Big “Home Based” Business
As a child I recall making hand imprints in pottery clay, scratching my name into it, glazing it (a lovely shade of pink) and then kiln firing it as a present for my Mother. I thought it was the coolest keepsake. Well, the other day while I was at Ma and Paws Bakery and noticed that … Read more

Puppy Blues
I am horrible at this ‘keeping the blog updated’ thing. Anyway, to the important stuff. Jake and I are adopting a retired racing greyhound. This has been “in the works” since March. We have been planning, researching, and working on it for a while. Today I got the call from the adoption group we are … Read more
Nobody should watch tv with the volume at level 60!
I have so many thoughts and events that have happened recently (since November) that I want to write about that it is rather overwhelming. So, I’ve decided to pick a simple one and start there.

Let me begin by saying that as a young girl attending ward dinners and events I remember wondering how all that food got ready for everyone. I always managed … Read more
Crock pot crack up
So yesterday Jake gave me the task of getting the pot roast into the crock pot. My job was simple. Put the meat and the ingredients into the crock pot and let simmer until dinner. Should have been a cake walk … Eeeeh! WRONG! First of all, I don’t know what our crock pot looks … Read more
I am a villain!
So this evening I had the strangest thing happen. I got into a heated ‘snipe/flame’ war on a knitting forum about helping animals in Haiti. After all was said and done I was painted as an immature, cynical city dweller who has no compassion for animals. I was made out to be THE BAD GUY! … Read more
